Ehh... no, not really. I'm sure some do? But mostly it's a bunch of people doing someone else's thing (whoever's thing they chose to use) because most people are not biblical scholars.
No ... you specifically said, "Only if everyone assessing Scriptures used that same method in consistently the same ways.", "there is not just one method for assessing Scriptures", "You get different interpretations because some people use different methods of interpretation" and "some people use the same method but in different ways (approaching the task with different presuppositions, e.g., source of authority)"!
Either you have a consistent methodology or you don't ... make your mind up!
